How are you getting the guillotine, people that think the guillotine does not work in no-gi? This may be the difference, as it can be easy to get the guillotine from side control versus trying to catch their head from your guard.

I say ha! You must be going against guys with sucky leglocks. I rarely lose mine when I commit to them.

totally in agreence. I have trained with Gokor, wicked leg attacks, and because of this I always have them in the back of my mind. Half-guard, mount, side-mount, north-south, leg locks are available from all these positions. Oh yeah and back control.

Hellzya. My fav is getting the kneebar from underneath in half guard. You can turn it into a sweep for back control if you like also.
